The CARE Team is a university-based, multidisciplinary team committed to maintaining a safe and secure working and learning environment for Stony Brook University students and our campus community. The CARE Team addresses student behavior that may pose a threat to health and safety or disrupts University activity. The CARE Team responds to reports of these concerns through an individualized, coordinated, and thoughtful process that is intended to gather relevant information and intervene when appropriate.
The CARE Team is comprised of representatives from departments across the University community and may include, but is not limited to, University Police, Student Accessibility Support Center (SASC), Academic and Transfer Advising Services, University Community Standards (UCS), Student Support Team, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), Office of the Provost, Faculty, Student Health Services, and Campus Residences.
